And internationally - Boris Yeltsin became the first elected leader in the USSR!

Meanwhile... if you were heading to the cinema in early June 1990 - you were probably going to see this..

It's early June 1990 on the 20 20 Retro Countdown!

 

Hi it's Aaron - in the next 20 20 Retro Countdown - we're playing the biggest hits from early June 1979..

the week when we lost a true legend of cinema...

The Duke died at the age of 72 on June 11 1979..

We'll also remember a land mark crossing of the English Channel..

And it was during early June 1979 that Rocky returned to the ring..

All that and the biggest 20 songs from early June 1979 including the number 1 that held the top spot for 8 weeks... but the group who achieved that were not finished.. their second single was also a big chart topper in 1979..

Join me as we rewind to early June '79 on the 20 20 Retro Countdown!

 

 

 

Each monday through June, we're playing the biggest hits from some of the biggest compilation albums of all time.. It all started with the best of the late 70's... this week we move on to the early 80's... did you have any of these...

1980 was a classic... Turning Japanese from the Vapors... Tired Of Toein' The Line - Rocky Burnette.. Cheap Wine - Cold Chisel... and remember Kim Hart's "Love At First Night"... what an album - and it's featured on the 20 20 Rero Countdown..

Yo might have owned over the top... how about this.. the old cassette cover... if you look closely, that cover contains the songs and artists... the likes of Icehouse - love in motion... Chemistry - Mondo Rock and PHd - I won't let you down... we're playing those hits from 1981 - Over the top on the 20 20 Retro Countdown!

Now, I had a copy of this one... I bought it specifically for America's hit "You Can Do Magic" - but maybe you bought it for Billy Idol's "Hot In The City" - or the first hit for Bananarama "Shy Boy"..

And then we move on to the compilation album that was top of the album charts for 5 weeks in 1983.. "Thru The Roof" really did sell through the roof.. with the biggest hits of the year from Michael Jackson, Elton John, Pat Wilson.. and the last track on the album was the biggest Aussie number 1 of all time... Australiana by Austen Tayshus was number 1 on the charts for 13 weeks.. no Australian single has ever come close.. and that certainly helped make "Thru The Roof 83" the biggest selling compilation album of the year..

They're the 4 compilation albums we'll feature on our early 80's celebration... on the 20 20 Retro Countdown!

Over the next month on the 20 20 Retro Countdown... we're dragging out some of the biggest and most popular compilation albums of all time... Starting with the late 70's..

Maybe you had a copy of Disco Motion... Ripper 76...Dynamite 78... or Bullseye 79!

Join us as we play the biggest hits from these compilations - and tell us about your favourite compilation albums!
